I do too, that's why I usually just do a tail butter instead.

uhh, look over your shoulder, find a small roller, pop, spin after you pop with your edges so they wont catch (up turned) and i dunno, just dont catch an edge. I stick to the swicth washout usually thoughk, but if you unwieght yourself enough you can do it lightning speed.

tail buttering is just like a low jump, just pop and let your body follow your head.

try going switch and look straight back up the hill, and just jump straight up a few times. then do that and just have your arm ready to help you get around. then swing your arm and look over your shoulder at the same time. that's not how i do it, but it might help get the height and rotation you need.

pretty much. Always spin looking over the shoulder of the direction your turning. that way youonly turn your legs, your upper body is already there!
